My impression is that Bruce has either written or is going to resell an AS400 product. He would like to be able to have people "trial" the software, but would like for it to expire after a certain time if the user does not pay the license fee. Also, If he sells his software to company 1, he does not want company 1 to sell/give away the software to company 2, or load it on a second iSeries that company 1 may have, but has not licensed the software for. Bruce, I have written some code to do this. It allows for a 30 day trial key and a perm key, and will prevent the software from being run if it expires. cjg Carl J.

On the one hand, there have been a number of suggestions that have to do with selling off old hardware, whereas it seems to me that the phrases "do not want it handed around," "securing the software," and "software key" all seem to imply that the "iSeries product you wish to resell" is in fact software you wish to publish (in which case, my own earlier post is more to the point).
